The new FANUC ARC Mate 0iA Robot seen on the left is extremely lightweight and compact, specifically designed for arc welding applications. In this demonstration the FANUC ARC Mate 100iC Robot seen on the right uses FANUC's integrated iRVision to pick parts from a tray and set them into an automotive seat fixture. The new ARC Mate 0iA and the ARC Mate 100iC robots then perform a spatterless welding operation. Once the weld cycle is finished, the ARC Mate 100iC unloads parts as the ARC Mate 0iA performs additional simulated welds, and the cycle repeats.

While providing the same reliability and repeatability as all FANUC ARC Mate series robots, the new ARC Mate 0iA's design incorporates the latest FANUC servo technology for high speed and accurate welds with less need for manual operators. This new robot from FANUC Robotics is ideal for a variety of applications, including welding of smaller parts that are typically welded manually.
